Yesterday morning quite nj 20 look

roai station, and CALLED hack driver,
whom he requested to take him to police
station rs room az possible. Although
tho driver pushed bis horses as fast rs
possible the man seemed impatient, and
several times insisted on getting out TO
walk Upon reaching the station he
hurried TO the chief and commenced .
conversation in broken Spanish, which
was 80 untntelllgible thai he was takon
to- DeSota's cigar store by an officer.
He told Antonio DeSoto that his father,
who is IN Cuba, -tad been assass mated
and that hts murderers were endeAvor.
ing to d. the crime on him, but when
questioned by Mr.. D,Soio he was IN
able to tell whether his father was In
Cuba or Nav York. From letters III his
possession Is was nsosrtained that his
name Is Arthur Machado, ard In one OF
the letters from his father he gave the
yourg man some excellent advice, and
rem inded him thar ss he had reaoh0d
his twenty second year ho should com.
mepce to act like . man.
The letter also mentioned that young

About Old People.

Ex-Governor Cochran Was seen In
the city few days ago by represen.
tative OF the REPUBLICAN, and Vas
com plimeuted upon hts robust. hale,
hearty appearance. The ex Governor,
In esponse, said that although his ap.
pearanoe indicated health. he was far
from being we'll. "But,' he said, II
am 78 years old now, and having sur.
passed the age allotted to man, l could
hardly be expected to enjoy life like I
once did"
We remarked that his appearance
and the firmness and 0uickness OF his
step pointed to o centennArisn age, ct
least 70 that OF nonogsnarlan. To this
he replied that when people reached
either OF those periods they become q
bur,hen to themselves and to those
around them. The old friends will
have passed away and the MAn OF
| ninety fnds himself isolated, and In
too many oAses burthen even 10 his
children. He ,houa ht Ihst when he be.
came unsbls to take care OF him sell
| through old aga, he will have reached
. very good period to die, and when Q
man exceeds 80 he lives on borrowed
time.
He referred to the venerable Charles
Tatman, OF Odessa, Dslawsre, who
though 95 years Of age, is still Presi
dent Of the New Castle County Naticnsl
Bank OF that place, 80 IN exception,
but men Of his age IS general rule can
have but very little pleasure In life,
They have lived 30 long beyond tbs
allotted time that the habits Of the
present generation could extract nc
sympathy from them, and they were
actually strangers In strange lsnd.
He thought there could be NO better
finale to the lives OF old people than fol
them to pass peacefully away wi'ho1'
manning 10 exc out o few more years
| full OF labor and trouble to those who
may have tha care Of them.
Closing his moral on long lives the
ex Governor sprarg upon a south. ourd
train for his beautiful rural home n
| Middletown, Delaware.
